Féile Derry is launching a new Christmas short film, Wreaths, which tells the story of a struggling tradesman trying to sell handmade wreaths in the run-up to Christmas.
As pressures mount, a chance encounter with an elderly man leads to a small act of kindness that changes his outlook.
Produced in collaboration with award-winning local filmmaker Seán Coyle, the film features local actors Pat Lynch, Micheal McDaid and Nadine McNickel, alongside young people from Cathedral Youth Club and Bishop Street Youth Club.
Commenting ahead of the film’s release on Sunday, a Féile Derry spokesperson said: “Christmas is a special time of year, but for many it can also be difficult due to financial pressures and household budget demands.
“The film is about offering people hope and showing how a small act of kindness can make a difference and change someone’s outlook.
“It also touches on important issues affecting society today, including racism and division. That’s why it was so important to have children from different communities working together on this project.
“All of these young people face the same challenges and this experience gave them a chance to come together and create something positive at Christmas.
“Féile would like to thank Seán Coyle, the entire cast and crew, the young people, and everyone who made this film possible. We would encourage people to watch it, and we think you will really enjoy it."
Wreaths will premiere on Féile’s Facebook and YouTube on Sunday, December 21 at 7.00pm.
The film is part of Féile’s Connect-Interact-Create project, supported by The Executive Office’s Central Good Relations Fund.
